The;frrst teat a man is put through for

portant part in causing premature old

British Score Naval Victory in,
Dardanelles.
Breslau is Sunk and Goeben Beached.
`-['hese Are the Two Vessels
That Escaped into Turkish Ports
During the Early Days of the
War=Became Enemy Raiders.
LONDON, Jan, 21. --In a naval
action between British and Turkish --
forces at: the entrance to the Dar-
danelles, the Turkish cruiser Mid-
ullu, formerly the German Breslau,
was sunk, and the Sultan Yawuz Se -
lira, formerly the German Goeben,
was beached. This announcement
was made by the Admiralty Sunday
night. The official statement says:
"The Goeben and Breslau -Turk-
ish names Sultan Selim and Midullu,
-with destroyers were in action with
the British forces at the entrance to
the Dardanelles this (Sunday) morn-
ing. The Breslau was sunk. The
Goeben escaped, but has- been beach-
ed, evidently badly damaged, at Nia-
gara Point in th•e narrows of the
straits.
"The Goeben is now being attack-
ed" by naval aircraft.
"Our losses reported are the moni-
tor Raglan and a small monitor, the
M-28."
`The German ships were in the
'iediterranean Sea at the outbreak
of the war and fled into the Dardan-
elles,seeking safety from the British'
end French warships that sought
Their destruction.
In the middle of August, 1914,
the British Government protested
against the German warships being
accorded refuge, and Turkey promis-
ed that they would be interned, and
placed out of commission until the
end of the war. Later, however, it
was announced that Turkey had pur-
chased "the cruisers and given them
the new names of Midullu and Sultan
Yawuz Selim.
Then followed frequent reports', of
the activity of the warships in the
Black Sea, - bombarding enemy land
positions and engaging or being en-
gaged by ships of the Russian Black
Sea fleet. Although the Turkish and
German war statements frequently
announced victories for the re-
christened Germans, the Russian
Admiralty on numer8us occasions
told of how Russian warships had
sent them scurrying from the Black
Sea into the Bosphorus, damaged, on
fire, and showing the wounds the
Russian shells had given them.
Shortly afterwards, 'however, the
Midullu and her colleague again
would appear, and the game of hide-
and-seek between them and the -
Russians would eo on again until
another battle took place, the Turks
in the meantime always having been
•uccessful in sinking numerous cargo
boats,' ranging from the smallest
fishing craft to goodly -sized steam-
ers.
The latest account of th.e'Sultan
Yawuz Selim was in July ' of last
year, when the British Admiralty
reported that British • airmen had
dropped "bombs on the vessel during
an air attack on the Turkish fleet
off Constantinople, in the Golden
Horn. Direct hits were observed on,
the Sutton Yawuz Selim and others
vessels, on which explosions occurred
and fire broke out. The Admiralty
.,part said the former German eruis-
r was the centre of attack, and thet
t was safe to presume she would be
tet of action for several months as a
^stilt of her injuries. •
The prediction proved true, as the
ultan. Yawuz Selim since then ha-
of been mentioned in any of the re-
orts as being engaged. The last
ecount of the Midullu was in June,
917, when the Turkish War Office
eported that vessel in a successful
neagersent, together with other
Turkish units, in the Black Sea
gainst Russian land positions' and
mall war craft. Authentic state
mentis from Constantinople asserted
hat after one engagement: the Goeb
en's badly damaged bow was repair-
ed with concrete.

British People Face Another Year of
War.
LONDON, Tan. 21, --The first
month of 1918 has been one of the
most trying• of the,wl)gle war: for the.
British people. Now the nation seems
to, have weathered its doubts and dis-
agreements and accepted the watch-
word, "We must go on or go under,"
The labor unions met the demand
upon them for more men in khaki
with a critical end doubtful spirit;
they insisted upon knowing the Gov-
ernment's exact war programme, and
were inclined to believe peace nego-
tiations were possible. These ques-
tions have been threshed out with
the Government fully and freely,
with straight .talking on both sides,
and the Government seems to have
carried the day.
This result is due principally to
Premier Lloyd George, and it
strengthens his position and author-
ity for the time being. The Premier's
resourcefulness was never disturbed
by the fusillade of questions from
the laborites, some cf them out and
out pagifists, at the conference.
Probably the most effective state-
ment Mr. Lloyd George made was
that the Government was ready to go
into a peace conference whenever the
Germans showed any disposition to
negotiate on equitable terns; but he
saw no disposition of that kind now.
There is still sharp 'criticism of the
Government among the masses, the
chief ground being the food problem.
While apaprently there are enough
supplies in the country to maintain
the population in comfort, the com-
plicated business of distribution, has
not been successfully met.
A general election is expected as
soon as a new register of voters can
be completed. Eight million new
voters, sir million of whom ' are
women, will go on the rolls under the
Reform bill, which the House of
Lords is now debating. The pre-
dictions are that the next Govern-
ment will oe s, Labor -Liberal coali-
tion, with the Labor party holding
the largest number of seats of any
party in the House of Commons and
the strongest position in the Cabinet.
CRISIS IN RUSSIA
Constituent Assembly Dissolved After
Stormy Gathering. •
PETROGRAD, Jan. 21. -The Con-
stituent Assembly has been dissolved
by the Bolsheviki authorities, it was
officially announced `Saturday. Sailor
guards closed the, assembly at 4
o'clock Saturday morning,
a When the Constituent Assembly
voted against the declaration made
by the president of the Central
Executive Committee after an
hour's deliberation the Bolsheviki
left the hall and were followed by
the Serialist Revolutionists of 'the
Lett, o -o the assembly showing its un-
willingly ss to approve the manner
in whietr Che peace pourparl•ers were
being conducted. At 4 o'clock Sat-
urday moreing the Conroituent As-
sembly was dissolved by sailors.
Meanwhile the All Russian Rail-
waymen's Congress has passed by a
vote of 273 to 61 a resolution sup-
porting the : Constituent Assembly
and calling upon the people's com-
missioners to agree with the major-
ity with a view to the formation of
a Government responsible to the as-
sembly.
From Moscow it is reported that
many persons were wounded and
others killed as the result of the
Red Guard firing on demonstrators
there in favor of the Constituent
Assembly.,
The ,Russian situation apparently
is entering a new phase. The Bol-
sheviki having withdrawn from the
Constituent Assembly, their neat
step probably rill be an attempt '
assert their supreme control of af-
fairs. They may dissolve the assem
bly forcibly, or reorganize it to give
themselves the mastery.
Power of Bolshevik::
LONDON, Jan. 21. -Sir George
Buchanan, British Ambassador to
Russia, who now is in London on sick
leave, on Saturday stated that while
the Petrograd despatches indicated
that the Social. Revolutionaries 'had
an actual majority in the Constituent
Assemaiy, that did not alter the fact
that the Bolsheviki have the real
power
and will maintain tarn rt by
force
if necessary. The Bo
s r h -
Bolsheviki doe
trines, without doubt, are spreading
throughout the whole of Russia, Sir
George declared, and they appeal
specially to those who 'have nothing
to lose.'` He added that while he was
unable to forecast the future, he was
convinced that Russia was not finish-
ed, ' because such a vast country could
not be destroyed.;
"I believe that the innate honesty
and comtuon-sense of the people will
enable her , to pull through," Sir
George asserted.
The food situation, in Petrograd
was very serious, he said, but the
great majority of the British colony
had left Petrograd.' "The general
opinion there is that the food may
fail absolutely this month," Sir
George concluded, "and if famine
comes one may expect anarchy, and
with that everybody would he in
peril."
